Impressionists, the Expressionists, the Bauhaus, the Surrealists and contemporary art as well as a good selection of American paintings. The most important artists represented include: Adolph von Menzel ("The Dinner Dance," "The Flute Concert," "Crown Prince Frederick visits the artist Pesne on the scaffolding in Rheinsberg," "The Balcony Room" and "Theatre du Gymnase"); Honoré Daumier; Camille Corot; Arnold Böcklin; Anselm Feuerbach ("The Oarsmen"); Lovis Corinth ("Self-portrait"); Edouard Manet ("In a Winter Garden"); Auguste Renoir ("In Summer"); Edvard Munch ("The Frieze of Life"); George Grosz ("Pillars of Society"); Max Beckmann ("Picture of the George Family"); Max Ernst ("Capricorn"). The gallery incorporates the old 19th C. gallery in Jebenstrasse and also puts on periodic special exhibitions. Associated with the gallery are a workshop for the restoration of pictures and drawings, a reference library and a large collection of slides.

As the gallery is already bursting at the seams, the works of the Biedermeier period and those of the German Romantics were moved in the autumn of 1986 to the Knobelsdorff Wing in Charlottenburg Palace. There is also a "Forum of Topical Art" in the hall on the ground floor of the Grundkreditbank at Budapester Str. 35.
